moz1047 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Story of my comp after missing round 1. I picked today on Eagle Farm races 7 & 8 so thought I had BB on $8.50 winner only to find I had picked on wrong race. Makes very little difference but would have been nice to get few points. Well done Howie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWJ Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 A top effort from Howie today sees him extend his lead to 24 points but he hasn't claimed the crown yet. Geoff and Richie can still nail him if it all falls apart at Te Aroha and Gilgandra tomorrow. The rest of us are playing for pride and a higher finishing position. Thanks everyone. See you tomorrow.

For all involved, and to help Howie, can we add say “Chatham Islands” team to the next Super Comp. And their team: Howie ! 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the far left, one PT Wolfenden, a more-than-useful 😊 reinsman of his time. Also in the photo, Charlie Faulkner.

craigos1 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The horse I've followed badly (every start till it arrived in Perth) where it has found it's mojo is a 3.7 chance in Perth Cup. So with alcohol flowing I've just put 50 on Neufbosc (tote). I'm not going to say how much I had on it in Early Betting for 2019 Melbourne Cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Ok Baby girl, Being the chivalrous Maximus wot I am, I'll smile graciously and say 'Bravissimo!' that you snouted me out of first place with your Montana Mist. But Max is in for the fight (despite recent form suggesting otherwise). MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFast Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If it was paying too much for even Gee, then clearly no-one was gonna be interested. 😄 Looks like the Auckland weather of a couple of hours back has arrived at Te Aroha ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3: 2 & 4 holy shite, thought the Mustelid, an $1100 result for She of the Talking Blue Jeans... then realised we are up to Comp R4 not R3 ...
